Can one actually select an album folder or must one scroll song by song to select an album?

You must scroll song by song in either standard mode (forward or backward in the order they are listed or shuffle which randomly picks songs). These modes are he same as you can play in. Unfortunately, I DO NOT recommend this unit being the failure rate is pathetic. I've had 3 fail within 2 hrs. of play time. I originally purchased one in 2013 for about $10.00 which is still working to this day. I play it thru my car stereo when driving on the road and I use it when riding my mountain bike on on paved rail trails and roads. I don't do dirt. It's nice and small, light, and I carry extra AAA batteries which are cheap. It only requires one which will just pop in in seconds and last a good 6-8 hrs of play time. So, back to the point. I decided in 2014 to grab another and all 3 failed within 2 hrs.. I returned all 3 and will not take another chance.

I use folder view which is the same as a Windows computer which is the default. I Name all the folder and sometimes the files(songs) using copy and paste then you can control where everything falls in a list on the front panel of the unit. PS I use the usb input with a 128gb thumb drive the sound is the best of all the inputs

Yes there is a folder view and you can play the files of a specific folder regardless of artist or album name.

THe problem is you need to use folders for the songs. If you place too many songs on the root , there is a limitation on the total number of characters the file system can handle. Its a FAT filesystem limitation. I recommend putting your music together in folders for each album. That will fix it.

I currently have them in folders, but it really does not matter. I had them just as files before, but works the same. I listen to my music in shuffle mode, and it shuffles the mp3s from different folders.

iTunes, windows media player, or just drag and drop. The only thing I don't like is how it switches folders so I leave my albums as on big mp3 rather than break up tracks

There is a way to create different folders on the device but you can't manage the order they play in.

When i set up folders, I just put all of my separate artists folders into a single folder named Playlist and it played through everything. Try that and see if it works!

are you saying that you cannot select certain artists or albums? Does it just start at the beginning? Thanks.

Yeah- I'm also seeing this issue- it seems like its not supported- I know its not convenient but to go back to the Song list/cover flow menu- you can skip the songs till the end of the album.

Does the selection look for all file types, or just MP3 files. Can you select "All Files" and see everything on your player?

Yes. However, just like trying to tune in an FM station (which when figured out how to do, is very responsive) you have to tinker a little to pick out songs you might have saved on a flash drive.

you just have to load indiviual songs on in the order you want. The shuffle is a very simple device: play/pause, volume, and skip/reverse

Two approaches will help significantly: 1) Organize your songs in folders. How your choose to format the folders is up to you. They could be based on artists names, decade that the songs came from, or alphabetical groups (example, the first folder could be named "A - F" and you put all songs in it that begin with the letters A - F. The second folder could be named "G - K" and you put all songs in it that begin with the letters G - K, etc.) This way, if you scroll through your folders a lot quicker than song-by-song. 2) Some people don't know that you can speed scroll by pausing a song (briefly press the on/off button), briefly move the scroll wheel forward and then let go (a solid black square will appear on the left-hand side of the display window), and then move the scroll wheel forward or backward (don't let go this time...keep it in the forward or backward position). You'll speed scroll through all the song much faster.

I have never used this. The unit has a repeat button, to repeat all, repeat album. I hope this helps.

Yes, there is a random button. I have some 267 songs on an SD card and just press the random button.

I can't answer that because I've never tried doing it. I would ASSUME that it functions the same way and shows you all of your folders.
